A Willimantic woman is scheduled to appear in Danielson Superior Court on Thursday on a charge of sixth-degree larceny. Nothing unusual about that.

What is unusual is that police say Christine Trombino, 32, stole a police officer's camera off a desk in the Willimantic Police Department.

According to police, Trobino was in the department on Oct. 29 to get assistance for an unrelated complaint. Police say that after the officer helping her finished, he asked her to wait while he retrieved some literature in an adjacent room to give her. The officer returned seconds later and gave her the literature, and Trombino left the department, police said.

Moments later, the officer noticed his camera was missing, police said. The officer found Trombino down the street from the department, police said, sitting on the curb and "reviewing the pictures on the Police Department camera." As he approached her, she tried to hide the camera, police said.

Police said the incident was captured by the department's surveillance system.
